IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The LCD PC is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To ensure that does not happen, follow
these suggestions:
1. Don’t drop it. Make sure it’s on a stable surface. If the computer falls, the case and other
components could be damaged.
2. Don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating
element. Keep the computer out of direct sunlight.
3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric
motors, and other strong magnetic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage
your data.
4. Keep it dry. This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the
computer could be badly damaged.
5. Be careful with power. The computer has specific power requirements.
• A steady, uninterrupted power supply is necessary. If you are unsure of your local power specifica-
tions, consult your dealer or local power company.
• The power cord may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong is an
important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a compatible
outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.
• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not by its wire.
• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total current load of all the
connected devices.
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies.
IV safety
CLEANING
• Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer, use a soft
clean cloth.
• Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive
cleaners on any part of the computer.

QUICK START GUIDE
This quick start guide assumes that you’re already familiar with LCD PCs and can tell at a
glance what and where all the key components are.
If you’re not that comfortable with this sort of device, take a look at the following pages for an
overview of the system.

In any case, you should review these steps, before you take any action. If you aren’t sure about
one of the procedures, check the relevant chapter before continuing.
Unless you have to install an operating system, your computer is ready to work right out of the
box.
But, before you begin, follow the safety instructions in the Preface, especially the instruction
on placement.

GETTING STARTED
ERGONOMICS
We designed your LCD PC system to be functional as well as attractive. To get most out of it,
here are some suggestions on how to position and use the computer:

should be at eye-level or slightly
below.
• If possible, illuminate your work
area with natural daylight or use a
steady-glowing (non-flickering)
• The LCD should be at least 18”/ light source.

hour.
• Use a chair which offers good
back support (especially lower-
back). The seat should allow your
feet to rest flat on the floor or on
a footrest directly in front of you.

With the video driver installed, the LCD is capable of supporting a resolution of 1024x768 at
256K colors. The higher the resolution, the more information the LCD can display on screen.
To change the LCD’s resolution and color depth in which it will display,
1. Click Start, point to Settings and click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Display (icon).
3. In the Display Properties dialog box, click Settings (tab).
To change the resolution:

SWITCHING DISPLAY DEVICES
Besides the built-in LCD, you can also use an external CRT connected to the VGA port as your
display device. You have the following four display options:
1. The built-in LCD (“Single”)
2. A CRT connected to the VGA port (“Single”)
3. The LCD and a CRT showing the same image (“Mirror”)
4. The LCD and a CRT showing different images (“Multimonitor”)
Use the video driver to change display options and make other adjustments. Table 3 - 1 lists the 3
video driver-supported driver modes by operating system. The following pages describe how
to access the video driver control panel in each operating system.

POWER MANAGEMENT FEATURES

The system supports various ACPI-compliant power management features. You can use them
to save the power consumption or extend the life of your system or some of its devices.
Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me and Windows 2000 Professional are ACPI-compliant
operating systems but Windows NT4.0 is not.
In this section, we will first give you an overview of the power management options the sys-

HIBERNATE MODE VS SHUTDOWN
“Hibernate Mode” and “Shutdown” are the same in that the system is off and you need to press
the power button to turn it on. Their main difference is:
When you come back from hibernation, you can return to where you last left off (what was on
your desktop) without reopening the application(s) and file(s) you last used.
You can use either way depending on your needs.
3 STANDBY MODE VS HIBERNATE MODE

If you want to stay away from your work for just a while, you can put the system on standby
instead of in hibernation. It takes a longer time to wake up the system from Hibernate Mode
than from Standby Mode.

THE POWER-ON SELF TEST (POST)

Each time you turn on the computer, the system takes a few seconds to conduct a POST, in-
cluding a quick test of the on-board RAM. As the POST proceeds, the computer will tell you if
there is anything wrong. If there is a problem which prevents the system from booting, it will
display a system summary and prompt you to run SCU. If there are no problems, the SCU
prompt disappears and the system loads the operating system. Once that starts, you can’t get
into SCU without rebooting.

5 DRIVERS & UTILITIES
OVERVIEW
This chapter deals with installing the drivers and utilities essential to the operation or im-
provement of some of the LCD PC’s subsystems. The system takes advantage of some newer
5
hardware components for which the latest versions of most available operating systems haven’t
built in drivers and utilities. Thus, some of the system components won’t be auto-configured
with an appropriate driver or utility during operating system installation. Instead, you need to
manually install some system-required drivers and utilities. In this chapter, we group driver
and utility installation instructions by operating system. The following operating systems are
covered.
• Windows 98 Second Edition
• Windows Me
• Windows NT 4.0 (with Service Pack 6 or above)
• Windows 2000 Professional
5–1
DRIVERS & UTILITIES
WHAT TO INSTALL
The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual CD-ROM contains the drivers and utilities
necessary for the proper operation of the LCD PC except for the optional DVD or CD-RW
utilities which come with the device if it is part of your system configuration. The following
table lists what you need to install manually according to your choice of the operating system.

HARDWARE UPGRADES
WHEN NOT TO UPGRADE

These procedures involve opening the system’s case, adding and sometimes replacing parts.
You should not perform any of these upgrades if:
• your system is still under warranty or a service contract

• you don’t have all the necessary equipment
• you’re not in the correct environment
• you doubt your abilities
Under any of these conditions, contact your dealer to purchase or replace the component(s).

7 Troubleshooting
OVERVIEW
This section is about what you should do if something goes wrong with your system. This
can’t anticipate every possible problem, but you should check here before you panic. If you
don’t find the answer in these pages, make sure you have followed the instructions carefully
and observed the safety precautions in the Preface. If all else fails, talk to your dealer. You
should also make a record of what happened and what remedies you tried. 7
Of course, if something goes wrong, it will happen at the most inconvenient time possible, so
you should preview this section just in case. If, after you’ve tried everything, and the system
still won’t cooperate, try turning it off for a few minutes and then rebooting. You will lose any
unsaved data, but it may start working again. Then, call your dealer or service representative.
